PILA is an international architecture studio based in Athens and New York that creates environments for culture, working, and living around the world. We believe in architecture’s enduring character to create meaningful connections between people and their environment as a counterpoint to the speed of contemporary living. 

By reimagining existing ideas around program and function, physical spaces can offer new ways of experiencing the world. PILA builds lasting spaces that adapt to future transformation, while considering today’s opportunities and constraints. Drawing upon material and immaterial contexts, the studio approaches the unique parameters of each project with openness and curiosity. 

Through a highly collaborative and iterative process, we translate each project’s opportunities and constraints into clear design directions that are sensitive to client and contextual needs. PILA just completed the multi award-winning Piraeus Tower and is currently engaged in the rejuvenation of B’ Plaz Voulas, the design of the new food hall at Arsakeio Megaron, an office building on Kifisias avenue in Athens, a hospitality project in Milos, the design of a university building, a highrise residential project, and numerous projects in Athens, Thessaloniki, the Greek islands and Cyprus.
